A jury decided last year that the owner of a small organic farm, Shellie Smith, still owes $4000 after a raid by SWAT that destroyed her farm.
Garden of Eden, a small organic in Arlington, Texas, was the target of a SWAT raid in 10-hour long search with Smith being held at gunpoint at one point.
Arlington police dept. stated that there were complaints of marijuana being grown on the premises, but none was found on the property. Instead, law enforcement confiscated 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, native grasses and sunflowers.

So ridiculous!
wow really, seriously?
unbelievable…obviously one of the neighbors called about the pot plants…but I don’t understand why they took her garden
They raided & pick $4,000 worth of blurberrys & had a yard sale at the town hall to get the money. The pickers got payed eating blueberrys as they picked them.
Send that Swat team to the Boarder and do something truly Honest !!
after reading the article i fully understand, i surely cant live in conditions that they had in their yard, a piano in the yard was that for entertaining for the plants???? having a messy yard would drive me nuts, I cant stand packed down snow in my driveway, but did they have to take items of plants off the property—for heavensake clean up your property put a shed around the piano———–
Sounds like a garden….
Asswipes all
